| Honduras Proposes Legalizing Drugs To Fight TraffickingLast update: 10/13/2008 9:42:43 PMTEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (AFP)--President Manuel Zelaya on Monday proposed legalizing drug use, which he said would free up Honduras's financial resources and cripple international traffickers. "The trade of arms, drugs and people ... are scourges on the international economy, and we are unable to provide effective responses" because of conventional legal restraints, Zelaya said at the opening of the 18th meeting of regional leaders against drug trafficking. Drug ministers from 32 Latin American and Caribbean nations are meeting in Tegucigalpa with United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime until October 17. Drug users should be considered "patients," said Zelaya, stressing that consumers could be treated by doctors and pharmacies, and would benefit from government social programs. "Rather than continue to kill and capture traffickers, we could invest in resources for education and training," the Honduran leader said | |
